Brazil’s only privately owned airport plans to double the number of hangars as demand for business jet travel booms.
Catarina International Executive Airport, opened in 2019, is a 14-minute helicopter ride — or 35-minute drive — from Sao Paulo and currently has 12 hangars with plans to eventually expand to 25, Managing Director Ronie Guimaraes said in an interview.
